Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of restricting system access based on a user's job role within the organization.

In the context of bank and credit union intranets, RBAC ensures that staff only see content, documents, or tools that are relevant to their responsibilities - reducing risk and supporting privacy and compliance efforts.

For example, HR staff may have access to employee forms and onboarding checklists, while branch staff may only see front-line tools and news updates. RBAC streamlines access while improving security posture.
